Why would an aircraft be unable to fly on the moon ?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Air is necessary for an aircraft to be able to fly. Aircraft cannot fly on moon in the absence of air as the pressure difference between the upper and lower part of the wing is required for producing lift. Moreover, air is also necessary to burn the fuel of the plane.

Akhtar, Kiran and Rahul were riding in a motorcar that was moving with a high velocity on an expressway when an insect hit the windshield and got stuck on the windscreen. Akhtar and Kiran started pondering over the situation. Kiran suggested that the insect suffered a greater change in momentum as compared to the change in momentum of the motorcar (because the change in the velocity of the insect was much more than that of the motorcar). Akhtar said that since the motorcar was moving with a larger velocity, it exerted a larger force on the insect. And as a result the insect died. Rahul while putting an entirely new explanation said that both the motorcar and the insect experienced the same force and a change in their momentum. Comment on these suggestions.
state whether momentum is scalar or vector.
What is the total momentum of the bullet and the gun before firing ?
What is the momentum in kg.m/s of a 10 kg car travelling at (a) 5 m/s (b) 20 cm/s, and (c) 36 km/h ?
Calculate the change in momentum of a body weighing 5 kg when its velocity decreases from 20 m/s to 0.20 m/s.
The velocity of a body of mass 10 kg increases from 4 m/s to 8 m/s when a force acts on it for 2 s.
(a) What is the momentum before the force acts ?
(b) What is the momentum after the force acts ?
(c) What is the gain in momentum per second ?

Two billiard balls A and B, each of mass 50 g and moving in opposite directions with speed of 5 ms–1 each, collide and rebound with the same speed. If the collision lasts for 10–3 s, which of the following statements are true?
- The impulse imparted to each ball is 0.25 kg ms–1 and the force on each ball is 250 N.
- The impulse imparted to each ball is 0.25 kg ms–1 and the force exerted on each ball is 25 × 10–5 N.
- The impulse imparted to each ball is 0.5 Ns.
- The impulse and the force on each ball are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
A 100 kg gun fires a ball of 1 kg horizontally from a cliff of height 500 m. It falls on the ground at a distance of 400 m from the bottom of the cliff. Find the recoil velocity of the gun. (acceleration due to gravity = 10 ms–2)
